I know of no political system that is free from corruption.
The more the money the greater the corruption.
Some deal with it better than others but............

Never thought of it like that but your absolutely right.
The Queen and Royal Family used to be paid by our taxes and we still pick up the bill for security,nowdays though she has an income of her own as does Prince Charles.
The Queen owns Horse Studs and Race Horses plus a personal fortune of approx 75 million pounds.
The Queen is the best Ambassador this country could ever have,She does great work for Charities and commands great respect and iwould prefer Her to represent my Country than any double dealing lying Politician
.
It was very nice of your ancestors and your country to provide her with seed capital. Usually, when an investor does that, they expect some sort of return on investment.
Will you say the same when it's King Charles rather than Queen Elizabeth?The Queen is the best Ambassador this country could ever have,She does great work for Charities and commands great respect and iwould prefer Her to represent my Country than any double dealing lying Politician
Personally, I'm very happy with my current Governor General, David Johnston, as I was with the one before, Michaelle Jean.
I wasn't so keen on Adrienne Clarkson, but at least we didn't have to wait until she died before we could get someone else.
... and these are all very good reasons for why she should not be queen of Canada.
Why is the Queen on Canadian dollars?
Would all Canadians agree with that,we owe a huge debt to Canada in terms of the Men she lost in two world wars when she came to fight along side us,as Kai said she is a rallying point and figurehead.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
I think when it comes to queens and politicians, they're pretty much interchangeable when it comes to leeching on their perspective societies and generally not really deserving the adulation so often given to them.
I mean, some are more charismatic than others, and some take their roles more seriously than others, but they're all just commoners, whether they admit it or not.
That being said, the human race has clearly shown that we have a pack mentality and that leadership is a necessary component of our societies. It's just that I prefer humble leaders who KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are not worth one mite more than the people they lead - and who consider their leadership a service rather than a right.

Because she's our head of state.
Probably not. The United Empire Loyalists wouldn't, certainly. I'm not speaking for anyone but myself.
There will always be a strong link of shared history between Canada and the UK, regardless of whether we share a head of state.
Disagree,the Queen serves us as an Ambassador but isn't a leader,thats what the civil war was about,she isn't a decision maker and i would suspect that she realises she was fortunate to be born into exceptional circumstance just as Richards Bransons Children were.
So what is the problem with sharing
kai
ragamuffin
and that's entirely up to Canadians!
i have always found the this the most moving of battle cries:
By the power of grey skull-----i have the power!!!!!!!

The difference between the U.K's most famous benefit scroungers and the Bransons is that Richard earned his wealth for his family to inherit. What has the royal family done to deserve thiers? The people who think we need a royal family are just sentimental sheep claiming a belief in democracy so long as it doesnt interfere with their romantic image of the UK's history. If the royal family believe they are worth keeping then let them exist without tax payers money, then we will see just how patriotic they are.
Message to the queen....GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK...(and I may even let you keep the Crown Jewels you stole from the Africans!)

She sits around on her fat arse all day eating stuffed Larks tongues or whatever at great expense to the British taxpayer...many of whom can barely afford to drive to work..
As do the rest of the Royals...
So basically dust1n I don't understand why either mate and yes it's very ridiculous in extremis..it's also elitist and archaic...we republicans number in our millions and as the elderly die off our influence will continue to grow...the loyalists can squeal about the Royals as much as they like, the end for our 'constitutional monarchy' draws near, the Daily Mail buying sycophantic nationalists....

Well said.
Has anyone heard how the Queen, Charlie and William are set to become protected from negative media coverage by law? Talk about going backwards! Obviously they must have much to hide.

Excuse me but the Queen and her family of leeches is STILL paid by our taxes aside of security expenses. Yes of course she has also invested some of our money (for her own gain) but dont be making out that she makes all of her own money. Thats just false and im sure you know it.
As for the double dealing politicians at least they are elected. Many people have alleged in the past that the Royal leeches are an extremely devious pack of wolves doing covert politically minded deals cloaked by their image of being non political. Why do you think that Fergie was able to sell an audience with Andrew if an audience with Andrew wasnt worth alot of money to someone looking to gain something under the table.
The fact that the British government is now seeking to make it ILLEGAL for the media to disclose anything about the top royals that they do not want to be disclosed (allegedly, in light of a recent attempt by the media to expose their dodgey dealings) shows just how valuable their dodgey dealings are to those very same 'double dealing lying politicians'.
